How many VPN sessions can vMX100 have ?

Dear, All

 

Now, I make design of NW using vMX100

Could you teach me how many site-to-site VPN sessions can vMX100 have?

# In datasheet, only 500Mbps throughput is written.

 

We’d like to make over 1000 VPNs, Can I?

Hi

I believe the vMX100 have the similar capabilities as a physical MX appliance

The following url on the Page No. 3 suggests upto 250 Max concurrent VPN tunnels.

Kind of a big deal

As far as I know, vMX is sized equivalent to the regular MX100 as @AjitKumar suggests. Given then, 250 concurrent client VPN sessions is what you should shoot for as a max.

Hi, all

Thank you for replying!

 

Do you know how I can have over 250 VPNs using vMX?

And if you have design guide of VMX, please share me.

Getting noticed

You could try launching multiple instances of vMX in AWS. Sites 1 to 200 would go to vMX1, sites 201 to 400 would go to vMX2, etc.

Unfortunately there are no deployment guides for the vMX yet other than the deployment instructions here: https://documentation.meraki.com/MX-Z/Installation_Guides/vMX100_Setup_Guide_for_Microsoft_Azurehttps://documentation.meraki.com/MX-Z/Installation_Guides/vMX100_Setup_Guide_for_Amazon_AWS

 

As @kevinl mentioned, you can deploy multiple vMX appliances to scale the VPN connections.
